I certainly don't want networking nor system admin tasks dependent on any
DE
For example, why are kdesudo-trinity and kpackage-trinity "recommends"
of kaffeine-trinity? This is in the bug list.
With the bloat (probably also numerous buggy packages) out, TDE is still
found here to be the most functional DE available.
This is where ignorance is most definitely _not_ bliss. (Is it ever?) I lag
a long way behind you in knowledge of the nitty gritty. So, there is my
solution! Get my head down and become more competent! I'm all for avoiding
buggy unwanted packages - but have no idea how to exclude them. Other than
by installing things one by one, of course, but it doesn't seem to be
feasible for the base system.
